TRUMP: Well, look. I’m very pro-choice. I hate the concept of abortion. I hate it, I hate everything it stands for. I cringe when I hear people debating the subject. But you still — I just believe in choice. And again, it may be a little bit of a New York background, because there is some different attitude in different parts of the country, and I was raised in New York, grew up and worked and everything else in New York City. But I am strongly for choice, and yet I hate the concept of abortion.
RUSSERT: But you would not ban it.
TRUMP: No.
RUSSERT: Or ban partial-birth abortion.,p> TRUMP: No, I would — I would — I am pro-choice in every respect, as far as it goes. I just hate it.
Ted Cruz told the truth, dynoman, YOU lied and owe an appology to Ted Cruz
Look up lie of omission, that is what Ted does ad nauseum. And it’s what you did in your post.
Trump has been against partial birth abortion since 2000. I fact he stated that in the Tim Russert interview you quote!!
Look it up.
I owe Ted nothing. I bought his book “A Time for Truth” and he made lying and misrepresenting a big part of his campaign. If anything he owes me a refund.
Lie of omission;
“Also known as a continuing misrepresentation, a lie by omission occurs when an important fact is left out in order to foster a misconception. Lying by omission includes failures to correct pre-existing misconceptions.”
I’m sorry. I was wrong, Trump didn’t state he would support a partial birth abortion ban in the Russert interview;
“Trump said in his book, The America We Deserve, which was published in 2000, that he was wrong to say he supported late-term abortion. After he talked with doctors, he wrote, he would indeed support a ban on the procedure.”
“When Tim Russert asked me on Meet the Press if I would ban partial-birth abortion if I were president, my pro-choice instincts led me to say no. After the show, I consulted two doctors I respect and, upon learning more about this procedure, I have concluded that I would indeed support a ban.”
